Many will deny it, few will accept it, but when we are in a good afternoon or night of gaming, in the middle of a good streak in Fortnite or Call of Duty, a drink or snack, like Doritos, is always good. The problem is that when we are in the middle of an online game, sometimes there is no opportunity to pause and clean our hands. And poor DualSense of PS5.
Of course, the ideal, after eating something like some Doritos, is to wash your hands to continue playing and take control. But sometimes, unconsciously, we are still in action and our fingers are stained with those orange residues.
The grease from the snacks sticks to the surface of the remote and, if it is a white DualSense, the dirt will be even more noticeable due to the color of the remote’s casing.
Fortunately, there are several ways to fix this problem, and the website of hard zone shared a small guide on how to properly clean the PlayStation 5 controller.
How to clean the DualSense?
You don’t have to be a cleaning expert to clean a PS5 controller or any other console. You just need patience and the right tools to make it look like new..
Here are the steps to follow:
- Using a microfiber cloth and some isopropyl alcohol at a concentration greater than 70 percent, let’s wipe down as many parts of the control as we can. The important thing is to clean the general and moisten the areas with accumulated dirt.
- In the joints of the casing, pass a wooden stick and go through them, while with the microfiber cloth you clean the dirt. You can also use an old toothbrush for this.
- To clean the triggers and top buttons, you can use the tools listed above or, preferably, cotton swabs dipped in isopropyl alcohol.
- Once you have everything clean, go through the entire control with a completely dry microfiber cloth.
